The National Forest campground here was closing up for the winter, but we stopped by the lakefront boat launch to enjoy the scenery and drove through the beautifully wooded campground across the street. The views are worth the drive

We stayed in a VRBO on the lake. Because it is so close to Flathead Lake (much bigger and more popular) it is more tranquil. Fishing boats, jet skis, water skiing boats are on the lake, but not so many as to make ti obtrusive. Also, Swan Lake is sheltered, so it is not as susceptible to winds and storms...

Swan Lake is different from Flathead and therefore offers a lovely change from the bigness of Flathead. San Lake is a good fishing lake, especially if you bring your own boat. A friend of ours lives on the lake and swims across it daily! It is an intimate place to spend a day or two if you have the time.
